:From a technical standpoint, then, how does one here go about righting a ''technical'' incorrection like that? I completely agree with you about editing someone's talk-page entries ''for content'' -- you'll never see me do that sort of thing. However, I've done forum moderation before, and am a stickler for keeping things ''technically'' (or ''mechanically'') sound, in that links are active, correct, etc. If there isn't the ability to correct such technical variances, then I'd advocate for making a rule of not including links in talk pages. -- [[User:Hawke|Hawke]] 12:45, 5 February 2006 (EST)

Welcome to the BSGWiki. Little side info; if you want to leave notes for other editors, leave it in that bar at the bottom for "summary", but not on the page itself. Good luck though. --Ricimer 17:02, 20 January 2006 (EST)

Please sign your name to stuff by typing "--" then "four "~" signs"--Ricimer 16:10, 28 January 2006 (EST)

Redirects

Hawke, I admire your zeal in getting rid of redirects, but I think it's a little questionable for you to alter other user's entries on talk pages. Although it's always good to try to avoid linking to a redirect, they exist for a reason, and it's not all-important that every single one be eliminated. --Peter Farago 05:30, 5 February 2006 (EST)
